Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump’s chief of staff and the first woman in history to hold the title, said she was cancer-free six months after announcing that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
“Some personal news I’m grateful to share. After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear. I am cancer free,” Wiles posted on X.
Often a staple in the Oval Office, Wiles continued working while undergoing treatment over the summer, including while on international travel with Trump. Wiles was also in Dallas last week for the Republican midterm convention.
“I got a cancer diagnosis nine weeks ago. I come to work every day. I do my job. I don’t complain. I think that sets an example for the people I work with,” Wiles said during an event with the Independent Women’s Forum in early May.

Announcing the diagnosis in March, Wiles said her doctors detected the cancer early and delivered her a “very good prognosis,” adding that she had joined the ranks of women who faced cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 300,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
The White House has not disclosed what treatment Wiles underwent. But Trump, on Truth Social in March, called Wiles “one of the strongest people I know,” and said that during her treatment, “she will be spending virtually full time at the White House.” He made clear that she would remain involved in the day-to-day operations.
Wiles has been near the center of Trump’s political operation for the past five years, including running his 2024 presidential campaign. She had remained by his side after he left office following his 2020 election loss to former President Joe Biden.
